Friday Finals 7-03
· CommentsI enjoyed my husbands day off today and went shopping by myself! I haven’t done any shopping for three weeks now so I was a little afraid of what today might look like, but we did very good. Not having three kids I was also able to hit more stores. I had wonderful cashiers and a great time.
This is Publix and Bi-Lo together.
I forgot to get the Brawny 8 pack of towels, 2 lbs of Cheeries and 5lb bag of rice in the picture.
Bi-Lo:
Total before coupons and sales: $91.89
Total Spent: $32.58
Total Saved: $59.81 or 64.5%
This trip included an $11 Boston Butt Roast, Watermelon and Cheeries.
Publix:
Total before coupons and sales: $151.47
Total Spent: $63.33
Total Saved: $88.14 or 58.2%
Funny story… they were out of Pork Loin in the case, so I asked if they had any in the back. He asked “Do you want a whole or a half?” Having no idea really what the size difference was I went into stock up mode and said “Whole”… the thing is huge! Thankfully we have freezer space and love pork chops and roasts. A third of my total was for this… $22 in pork (at $1.99 lb).
Kroger:
Total before coupons and sales: $35.36
Total Spent: $19.20
Total Saved: $16.16 or 45.7%
I got: 10 packages of cheese, 2 loaves of bread, bananas, sausage, tomato paste, and a rice mix my husband was craving (not on sale at all and no coupon - he is very loved).

How did you do this week? Leave a comment or link to your savings post (not to deals, to what you saved…).
Great week! That’s a lot of meat.
that is a huge hunk of meat!
My week was slow, my biggest was the $25 gift card from CVS for having a RX filled.
Rite Aid had a couple good things. Buy Venus Razor refill get shave gel free, I of course had a C for the razors so it was a great deal:) oh and got some cokes from there.
I am fairly new to this, but having a great time and getting some really great deals at CVS& Kroger. Question: The groceries you got this week - will that last you one week or two? Also, approx. how far between the big 3 groceries do you have to drive?
Thanks.
Kim,
Most of that will last 2 weeks. The pork… probably 2 months :) I will do a small trip next week though for milk and bread and fresh fruit.
Hey girl. I have been doing this pork deal since it has been 1.99 lb.–I am planning to go back since I got my hands on some of the $4 Qs for charcoal! I ask the butcher to cut my loin into 3/4 in. chops–so when I get home all I have to do is freeze 4 in each pack. :)
Jenny,
Who has the Danimals yogurt on sale this week? Thanks! Adele
Adele,
Danimals are on sale for $2 ea at Publix and there is a $1 off coupon in the new “Smart Summer Savings” booklet
If your kiddos will eat Dan-in-o though… they are regularly $1 ea and there is a $1 off coupon in the same booklet!! Free yogurt!!
Hi Jenny,
Happy 4th of July from FL! I clicked ont the link marked “printable” for Fast Fixins Chicken Nuggets, but when the coupon.com site came up there was not a coupon for Fast Fixins! This is not the first time I have clicked “printable” and did not find the item I was looking for at the site it went to(I scanned the 98 coupons several times to make sure I didn’t miss it). Can you explain this to me?
Thanks for all you do for this website and to help us all save more. I appreciate it so much - even though I would be a “Northern Savers” since I am in Ohio. My coupons don’t always line up with yours, but our Kroger, CVS and Walgreens are pretty close.
Anne,
Most of the time that happens it is because the print limit has been reached for a certain coupon. They only have so many to print and then they take it down.
I had a pretty good week, although I only shopped at Kroger. I made 2 trips this week.
1st trip:
10 jars of Ragu (used five $1 off 2 coupons)
6 packs of Oscar Mayer hot dogs (used three $1 off 2 coupons)
1 bag of Banquet chicken tenders (used one $1 off coupon)
1 roll of Reynolds Foil (used one $1 off coupon)
2 bottles of Purex Fabric softener (used two $.50 off coupons)
2 tubes of Aquafresh (used two $1 off coupons)
total coupons and savings: $50.50
total spent: $15.72 (76% savings)
I didn’t get the $2 off coupon that was supposed to print out with the fabric softener though… :( is there way to get those?
trip 2:
6 packs of Oscar Mayer hot dogs (used three $1 off 2 coupons)
2 packs of Oscar Mayer Beef dogs (used two FREE coupon)
2 jars of Ragu (used one $1 off 2)
total coupons and savings: $32.42
total spent: $4.05 (89% savings)
weekly total:
Spent: $19.77
Saved: $82.92 or 81%
Saved $40+ at Publix but didn’t need any meat and living more out of the pantry. Got a great deal at Target after winning an eBay auction for 20 $1 Ray-o-vac coupons and loading up on trial size freebies. You should have seen the look on the cashiers face!! Everything went through fine…thank you Jenny for a fabulous website…..
